Listener Opinions

Gielizza | 2/9/2014

" The book is full of drama. I like the concept of the story though it's unlikely to happen in real life. Haha "

Chrissy | 2/6/2014

" Sad at the very beginning, but overall a lighthearted, feel-good gentle read with a touch of fantasy/fairy tale quality. Would recommend to readers wanting Christian fiction, although the spiritual element is more of an undercurrent than an overt narrative force. "

Abi | 1/28/2014

" Dont like the change of Cecelia Aherns books... "

Victoria CoutiÃ±o | 1/16/2014

" An amazing, completly exciting and great book! "

Lady Di | 1/14/2014

" Just a quick read from the same author that wrote P.S. I Love You. Someone donates blood and the recipient gets his memories and they find each other. I guess I was drawn in by the "New Book" sticker and the cute colors on the cover..... "

Tuhina Neogi | 1/10/2014

" This book of Cecelia's can be termed 'Weird in a Pleasant way'. But, it might take some time before a reader actually starts taking interest in it. What seems a practically low start, takes beautiful turns, but then at times reader might feel like dozing off again. But, overall, it was a good read. :) "

Mirka | 1/6/2014

" It was wonderful, totally transported me into the story. I felt like the main character. "

Naj Lee | 12/20/2013

Jeanie | 11/18/2013

" Chick Lit through and through. "

Oceantide74 | 11/17/2013

" 2.5 stars. Interesting concept but got frustrating towards the end. Felt like was written to be a movie with cliche scenes set up. But loved the father- great character!! "

Joyce | 10/30/2013

" Interesting story! Its hard to imagine that things in this story can really happen in real life but the author did a great job of creating a good story out of it. "

Janne | 10/5/2013

" Great book!! I liked P.S. I Love You and wondered if I would like this as well - I did! Her writing is happy, sad, fanciful - covers about every emotion and then some. This was a wonderful story!! "

Zaineb | 4/23/2013

" I got this book because I really enjoyed PS. I love you, but I was disappointed by this book. It was very slow and predictable. "

Peg | 3/8/2013

" Plenty of funny moments. LOL There's a part where Joyce, our heroine, takes her 78 year-old father on his first plane ride that had me laughing so hard there were tears! "

Jo | 11/24/2012

" One word for this book ... actually more like a sentence ... You will not put this down till the end! Beautifully written, capturing and takes you to a different level of emotional belonging with the characters! "

Jeliene | 9/26/2012

" Unrealistic, but a fun read! "

Kitty | 11/16/2011

" I wish they would have met sooner. "

Laurie | 6/4/2011

" Painfully slow...I just could not finish it.
"

Jeanet | 6/2/2011

" A true Cecelia Ahern story. Although large bits of it seem quite impossible and at times rushed, I can't help but to fall in love with the kind of love the books always represent.
"

Mirka | 5/30/2011

" It was wonderful, totally transported me into the story. I felt like the main character.
"

Linda | 5/23/2011

" A silly book with an inane premise, but I kind of liked it anyway!
"

Steph | 5/23/2011

" This book was hard to get started. I also didn't love Justin at first. It did pick up about half way through and I enjoyed it by the end.
"

Isobelle | 5/15/2011

" Hilarious, that kept me enthralled throughout.
"

The | 5/15/2011

" Like the concept of the book: woman gets blood transfusion, but receives more than just blood from her donor - memories, skills she never had before etc. She now wants to find this person she feels so close to - great story line but the two main characteres unfortunally never really come to life.
"

Nettiemc | 5/13/2011

" Well written, but lacking sizzle. Best relationship in it was between dad and daughter - not that there's anything wrong with that. Just not a terribly charming book. It's hard to keep the love interests apart for almost the entire story, and still make me care whether they get together at the end.
"

Mattie | 5/1/2011

" The book was really slow all the way until the end, but the end was really good.. good enough for me to give the book 3 stars.
"

Vivi | 4/29/2011

" I bought this book years ago, and I had trouble reading it at first, but then, when I tried the second time, it went very well! it's a very sweet story actually.
